Article 1 -- No Title

VIETNIANE, Laos, June 26 (AP)—Unofficial sources said carrier‐based United States jet fighters attacked Communist positions on the Plaino des Jarres, and beyond, today in the second such strike this month.

“Everything east of Muong Soui was hit,” said an in­formant.

Muong Soui is post of Gen. Kong Le's neutralist forces on Highway 7 between the plain and a north‐south route, High­way 13, that links Vientiane and Luang Prabang, the royal capital.

Government sources said yes­terday the Communist ‐ led Pathet Lao and North Viet­namese, were building up troop units and supplies on Muong Soui's approaches, evidently in preparation for an attack.

The planes were said to have made the raid from a carrier anchored in the South China Sea off South Vietnam.
